From 3ca1032ab7ab010eccb107aa515598788f7d93bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KP Singh Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2020 10:37:43 +0000 Subject: bpf: Implement get_current_task_btf and RET_PTR_TO_BTF_ID The currently available bpf_get_current_task returns an unsigned integer which can be used along with BPF_CORE_READ to read data from the task_struct but still cannot be used as an input argument to a helper that accepts an ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID of type task_struct. In order to implement this helper a new return type, RET_PTR_TO_BTF_ID, is added. This is similar to RET_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL but does not require checking the nullness of returned pointer.
